By MILTON RICH.MAN L'PI Sports Writer The first million is supposed to be the toughest but those first 20 aren't exactly a snap either. Ask Sandy Koufax. The frustrated Dodger south paw, still looking for the first 20 game season of his career, has come right down to the wire twice now only to wind up with a big handful of nothing. Well, not exactly nothing. I The Dodgers did come on to beat the Braves, 2-1, Sunday and fatten their National League lead to 6'j games over both the Card inals and Giants, so Koufax wasn't complaining. But it did hurt a bit to come within one out of his 20th victory and his 11th shutout without achieving either. Koufax had a three-hitter and a 1-0 lead until the ninth when Eddie Mathews doubled and then Gene Oliver doubled with two out to tie the score. Manager Walt Alston decided to bring in Bob Miller at that point, and after Miller retired the side without further damage he picked up his ninth victory when Doug Camilli singled home t h e winning run in the bottom of the ninth with the bases full. Koufax now has allowed only two runs in the last IB 2-3 innings. yet does not have a victory to show for it. He held the Cardinals to one run last Wednesday and left that game with the score tied 1-all alter 10 innings. The Dodgers won it in the 16th. 2-1. Houston beat St. Louis. 3-1, Cin cinnati out-lasted San Francisco, 8-7, Philadelphia downed Pitts burgh 4-2, in 11 innings and Chi cago defeated New York, 3-1, in other NL games.
